- Poisons of the Realm -
Part One A-L
This document reveals most of the poisons, toxins, venoms, and
acids that have been discovered in use around the realms. The
terms are described below. Note that some of these are real-life
poisons and should NOT EVER be considered for anything other than
game use. I REPEAT, THIS DOCUMENT IS ONLY FOR A GAME!!
Definitions:
Poison: Some form of harmful substance that exists in
naturally with no alterations from PC's (Other than
the collecting of said poison)
Toxin: A damaging substance that does NOT occur in nature.
A toxin must be produced manualy by an alchemist or
assassin.
Mixture: A substance that is used as a poison, but must be
made and produced by magic.
Venom, Spit:A sdamaging substance that is produced ONLY within
the glands of an animal. Generally thought to be
the strongest of the poison types, but also the
hardest to collect.
Acid: A corrosive substance that either exists in nature,
is produced by an animal gland, or is produced by
someone. Causes damage upon contact but can
usually be washed off upon initial contact to stop
damage, unlike a poison.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- Forms of Poisons -
Ingestive: This form of poison is the most common. To effect
a creature, it must first ingest the poison. This
means that the creature must eat the poison one way
or another. Getting a poison in this form is of a
normal cost.
Insinuative: This form of poison will effect a creature just by
getting it into it's blood stream. This is the
form of poison that is used on weapons. (And in
specialized weapons as a Dagger of Venom). This
form of poison costs an extra 50% to create (Cost *
1.5)
Contact: This form of poison will effect a creature just by
coming in contact with the poison. This is one of
the most expensive and most dangerous forms. Many
a user has slain themselves through carelessness.
This form of poison costs 300% normal cost (Cost *
3) NOTE: This form of poison is easily bypassed
by thick gloves. However I have heard of an
assassin which mixes acid and poison for just that
sort of case.
Gas: This form of poison is very dangerous. It will
effect EVERYTHING within range. You will have to
pay a pretty gold piece for any alchemist to add an
oxidizing agent to a poison and it's EXPENSIVE to
ask someone to risk their life for that. This form
costs 1000% normal costs (Cost * 100). The normal
effect is a sealed vial which when broken will
produce a 20' x 20' x 20' cloud of gas.
Antidotes: Antidotes are available if a sample of the poison
is made available. The antidote usually cost
120% of the purchace price of the poison.
Antidotes take approximately one week to create,
and must be administered within 2 rounds of the
toxification to be effective. If no sample of the
toxin is availible, one cam be distilled from a
blood sample, but that will take approximately a
month and a 1,000 extra gold (by then it's too late
anyway).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- NOTE TO GM'S -
These poison (toxins...etc...) have not been assigned any
price or dosage for effect (with few exceptions). These
things are up to you. This also goes for availability of
these and antidotes (Note thought that there are a few that
have no known antidote!) The only other note I should make
is to keep these in control. To many can really throw a
game out of balance. For assassins to study these, I
usually allow them on type (Poison, Toxin, venom...etc...)
to learn and they may learn how to use, collect, produce..
it from 5th level on. For each level afterwards, they may
learn one more from that type of poison.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
MANY OF THESE ARE TAKEN FROM OTHER BOOKS AND ARE ACKNOLEDGED
HERE. MY THANKS TO THE AUTHORS FOR ALLOWING ME TO MAKE THE
GAME MORE INTERESTING. I'M SORRY IF I'VE MISPELLED ANY OF
THE NAMES!

effect to or on any creature within

coards. This fluid causes the

subsonic level making all within a
mile of them hear the imbiber.
